Travel Software Solutions and Travel Mobile Apps adopting Agile Development Process.

Software designing is filled with a lot of buzz words at present and the most frequent of them is the word “Agile”. There are other similar kinds of words like SCRUM, KANBAN, Crystal Clear and Extreme Programming. Top travel technology companies around the globe adopting agile design process for travel portal software development, travel CRM and mobile apps.


Travel Software Solutions


The place that the word Agile holds in software designing could be explained with the help of the waterfall model. You may have read about the concept of waterfall model, when you were undergoing your bachelors in engineering. Waterfall model was also an ornate term used for defining a concept. The waterfall model is sequential designing process, according to which progress is defined as flowing downward like that of a waterfall. The various phases of the waterfall model include Conception, Initiation, Analysis, Design, Construction, Testing, Implementation and maintenance. Leading travel software companies are adopting the same model for scalable travel portal development projects.

The waterfall model dates back to the olden days when the Romans involved themselves in the construction work. The main theory that the Romans has put forward and the concept that is implemented in the Waterfall model is the fact, that when you build a bridge it is a challenging task to bring about change or fix the bridge later. Even if you find a path of fixing the bridge, it will be costly. It is very essential to know what you want at the beginning, when you are designing the project.

The case is different with the software, wherein you can bring about changes in the end-products. Looking at the demand that the users pose to the current software industry, it would not be wrong to say that the users expect change in the end-product very frequently. I can put forward a very common concept in regards to the reason behind demanding change in the end-product. During the beginning of the project an user might have a very vague idea about the features that they want in the project, and a strong opinion is formed with the progression of the project depending on the business needs.

Now I could clearly say that, it is the benefits associated with the Agile designing process that had helps in creating an exclusive place when it comes to software designing. The Agile design process enables the project managers to generate a condition that leads to clear and frequent interaction among the customers, business folks and the delivery team.

There are many projects that Provab.com have accomplished and in which the Agile method was implemented very effectively. These are the projects wherein the features associated with the end-result were quite different in comparison to the features that were through about, while beginning the project. The factor that mattered for us as an organization was the level of customer satisfaction and appreciation that these projects brought along with them.

As mobility solutions depend on the web services generated from the web projects, agile development process will be the backbone of travel portal development companies.

Global Distribution system or GDS has become the backbone of the airline reservation engine and holds an eminent place in the airline industry. Global distribution systems are consolidators / aggregators and provide booking reservation software to travel agencies. Travel service booking includes airline booking, hotel booking and car rental booking. GDS system more than a booking tool, it is regarded as the communication channel and consolidator.




GDS is the computer reservation system that was introduced in the early 70s and was specifically meant for the Airline industry and was later extended to the travel agents.

Why does the Airline industry require Global Distribution Systems

The airline booking system early was totally manual and you had to visit a travel agent to confirm a seat in a particular airline. The travel agent will have the information regarding a single or at the maximum two airline companies and you would have to manage with them. The travel agent could not provide you with the choice of choosing the airline depending on the cost or choose the seat after looking at the seat map. Introduction of the GDS system has made the process of travel booking much easier, as you can now compare the airlines, their service, ticket availability and cost of the air ticket and proceed with the booking.

GDS system is a way of “direct connect” which forms a part of the pro-consumer enhancement and the related financial motive of eliminating the middle man. The Airline loads information into the GDS system, which is used as a one stop shop for providing flight information to the clients. This is a way of eliminating the middleman from the transaction and eliminating the option of sharing profit with the middleman.
